Hey all
Anyone know what these are and what would be a reasonable price to pay for them?

They both look like digitata to me, orange and blue. Although I have no idea if these are SPS or not so I could be wrong.

Hmmm, I've never seen a digitata grow in a fan pattern like that. I have one and it branches out in all directions.

They appear to be Fire Coral. I have no idea what a "fair" price would be to one particular person :-)

Actually not a coral,stings like a jelly fish.... (phylum*Cnidaria)

Well, after doing a bit of looking around with that fire coral ID, I think it's actually not a fire coral but a Distichopora Purple Stick Coral. Live aquaria says it's commonly referred to as Lace, Ember, or simply Stylaster Coral.

Ya, that's a stylaster. On the challenging side. Give it a go!
